Prince Patel Wins Super Welterweight Debut in India

British boxer Prince Patel confirmed a fifth-round victory in his super welterweight debut in India on his verified Instagram account. The result has yet to appear on BoxRec.

Patel has risen from a 110-pound professional debut to the super welterweight division at 154 pounds.

Patel’s professional titles include the Commonwealth super flyweight belt, WBO Global and WBO Africa honors, and the IBO bantamweight championship. His career has drawn comparisons to Manny Pacquiao, who debuted at 106 pounds and became boxing’s only eight-division world champion. Unlike Pacquiao, however, Patel has accumulated Commonwealth, international, and regional championships rather than recognized world titles across eight divisions.

After winning the IBO bantamweight belt, Patel proclaimed himself India’s first-ever professional boxing world champion. The IBO is not recognized alongside the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO as one of boxing’s four major world championship sanctioning bodies.

Patel is 33 years old and left the British boxing scene in 2016 following a split with promoter Frank Warren.

In March 2021, Patel defeated Julias Thomas Kisarawe in Ghana to claim the Commonwealth crown.

In December 2023, Patel knocked out Aliu Bamidele Lasisi in six rounds in Ghana to secure the IBO bantamweight title. That victory took his professional record to 34 wins, one defeat, and two draws, with 29 knockouts.

Patel’s last recorded contest was on January 31, 2026, in Bangkok, where he stopped Yahaya Mussa after five rounds at 140 pounds to claim the WBA Asia Gold super lightweight title.
